(NYSE: DNOW), formerly NOW Inc. and operating as DistributionNOW, is a Houston-headquartered Fortune 1000 distributor of pipe, valves, fittings (PVF), pumps and packaged, engineered process and production equipment serving the upstream, midstream, downstream energy, and industrial sectors. Spun off from National Oilwell Varco in 2014 and built on a heritage that spans more than 160 years, DNOW combines a global network of distribution branches and engineering facilities with the DigitalNOW platform — shop.dnow.com B2B eCommerce, cXML/OCI ERP punchout integrations, the eSpec product configurator, the AccessNOW automated inventory control system, and a library of customer-facing mobile applications. DNOW does not publish a public developer portal, OpenAPI specifications, or a self-serve API program; customer integrations are delivered through configured cXML/OCI punchout sessions tied to enterprise ERP systems. In June 2025 DNOW announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire MRC Global in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion. created: '2026-05-23' modified: '2026-05-23' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: now:digitalnow-ecommerce name: DigitalNOW B2B eCommerce (shop.dnow.com) tags: - eCommerce - B2B - Procurement - Catalog - Real-Time Pricing - Order Management humanURL: https://www.dnow.com/ecommerce properties: - url: https://www.dnow.com/ecommerce type: Documentation - url: https://shop.dnow.com/ type: Portal - url: https://www.dnow.com/digital-solutions type: Overview description: >- DigitalNOW B2B eCommerce platform delivered through shop.dnow.com providing contract-priced electronic catalogs of more than 160,000 SKUs, real-time inventory visibility, online ordering, custom approval workflows, order status and history, invoicing, and shipment notifications for energy and industrial customers.
